Black Tusk

Musical Group

Black Tusk is an American sludge/stoner metal band from Savannah, Georgia, formed in the mid-2000s. They self-describe their sound as "swamp metal" and are known for concise, heavy songs. Bassist Jonathan Athon died in 2014.

The DeBaser review refers to the band as a Savannah trio and notes that the Set the Dial cover art was created by John Dyer Baizley. The band blends sludge, stoner and doom influences and has released albums including Taste the Sin and Set the Dial.

DeBaser hosts one review of Black Tusk focusing on Set the Dial. The review praises the band's brash, concise take on sludge/stoner/doom. Artwork by John Dyer Baizley is singled out.

For:Fans of sludge/stoner/doom metal and readers who like irreverent album criticism.

 Because this is the level of ignorance, brazenness and "musical" insolence that you can find among the tracks of this work by the Savannah trio, whose genre is self-defined as "swamp metal" (what a mega-galactic bullshit).
